Frontwing deserves to fail

I go to the gym four days a week and do a variety of compound exercises including but not limited to deadlifting, the overhead press, the bench press and of course squats. I also do boxing recreationally and have sex with my girlfriend.

If you're degenerate enough not to take care of your body then you deserve to suffer.

Do you guys use headphones or speakers to read VNs? Excluding the crowd that uses the former because they live with others or something.

Depends on the VN. If it's something atmospheric or good music, or both, like Fata Morgana, then I'll use headphones. Otherwise I don't bother.

Yeah, sure you do, fattie.

>playing with sounds on

They're Visual Novels not Audio-Visual Novels you pathetic little shits.
Fucking summerfags invading.
Fuck off assholes!

@152661591
Try harder next time

Laptop onboard speakers. I'm not proud but it's either that or equally shitty earbuds considering I only ever read VNs in bed.

Is this a kamige?

Time to end it

What game is this PLS ANSWER

Does she get an h?

mangagamer.org/sona-nyl/

Sona Nyl

No

Are the sprites all as bad as ? If so, I certainly won't be purchasing it.

Sakurai is a hack anyway

Why?

Good, we don't need moefags buying actually good games.

>HD assets not available to Japanese customers
HD cropped upscales. This shill needs to kill himself ASAP.

... hes right

Um...no? What an egotistic nerd.

Consider the following:

Fuck no.

There's a big difference between what's happening with DI and Baldr Sky though.

Not really...

Baldr is getting censored with no extra content added, for DI we are getting the same version the Japs have that has additional content to make up for the h scenes.

>muh porn scenes
Just off yourselves you baboons. You don't deserve to read DI.

Yes there is. With DI I'm fine with them bringing over the all ages release because there is additional content in replace of the H but with Baldr Sky there is no all ages release so they're just cutting content of the 18+ without replacing it with anything. There is a huge difference between the two.

moogy

I don't care about the porn. But don't call the cropped bullshit they're giving us """HD""" and tell is we should be grateful for it.

>people keep reporting the porn meme
Text and gore CGs are cut too.

Moogy tweeted that a person being born as the result of incest was cut as well.

I don't want to read DI, if I really did I would have read it a long time ago.

The tweet mention all-ages releases in general, never mind the context of the followups.

All-ages releases are only happening to get games onto Steam where unfortunately enough, games will fail there due to in their current state (as normies see them) overpriced picture books.
VNs will never end up as a mainstream medium if they continue with this business plan and model.

They haven't announced anything yet, how do you know it will be cropped? You know you can have HD resolution at 4:3 right?

With black bars on the left and right, yes.

If they filled in these sections with redrawn art (expanding upon the current picture no make it 16:9 not cropping it). There would be no issue.

>VNs will never end up as a mainstream medium
VNs will never be mainstream and thank fuck for that.

I'm not exactly fond of mainstream VNs either. But if it gives us good high-quality uncensored content, then I have no qualms about it

>redrawn art
Has that ever happened before? We would have to start paying the same ridiculous prices that the Japanese fans pay to get the eroge companies to start adding in additional features for English releases. Right now I feel like the Japanese companies are just trying to dump the English versions of these eroge onto the Steam market since they can do it so cheaply re-releasing a product that was finished and released in Japan years ago.

You need to spend money to make money.

Re-using old assets and poorly porting something across the Atlantic will just lead to a lot of enemies made.

While their at it why don't they re-draw the assets and release a definitive edition for the Japs as well. They could make money both sides of the world with a good remake.

>dude goes on rant about why he's right and other people are wrong
>does so without using capital letters or complete punctuation
Why even bother?

uhm. shut the fuck up.

But he's right though.

People look like idiots when they don't use spelling or grammar.

I actually hope Dies Irae's and Baldr Sky's kickstarters fail so EOPs don't touch them with their filthy hands.

There's 0% chance that will happen.

I don't know about BS, too many people dislike Dovac and Seikai project, it's gonna be very though at least.

Don't even need to even go that far to see problems. They are using multiple tweets to rant about something which is usually a warning sign, since twitter makes for an awful medium to make longs rants. They should have made a blog post or twitlonger post if they want to do long rants in a more sensible format.

Root Double made it and it's a no name garbage game. There's negative % chance of BS to fail.

That person just wants to pollute their followers timeline with as many tweets as possible for maximum attention and virtue signalling

They were pushing that it was done by the Zero Escape series and Infinity series guys for Root Double and even then it had to struggle quite a bit for it to be backed. Only started to really look like it was going to be funded during the last third.
You are right about BS being unlikely to fail though, as it will get by on meme status alone.

Don't forget that BS has gameplay and it's supposedly pretty good. Even Steam fags who don't like VNs because "they're not games" will back it.

>and Veeky Forums
Frontwing seems to be browsing this thread and probably VNTS.

I for one welcome our new japanese overlords.

Hello Frontwing!

I like you.

Probably talking about the Frontwing thread they had on /v/, not this general.

>Plebbit's r/visualnovels and /vn/ are basically the same now
Thanks Reddit for invading us!
Le moogy xDDD !!!!

I'm glad I left this trash of a medium and only play nukige now.

>twitter rant
>my tastes are better and you are all perverts for wanting the uncensored visual novels.

Just one question, how can these people breathe? At least mangagamer staff was rational enough to come to a sound conclusion from looking at future planned releases.

Sales of supposed "kamige" from this year aren't really great, but what does it matter if you fund with a kickstarter. But ei! You might be able to attract the Steam audience if some hot shot plays it on his youtube channel to laugh at it.

I want to give them a hug and cuddle no homo.

>but what does it matter if you fund with a kickstarter
I think people are just tired of being told to fork over money for something that isn't yet done. You could say Sekai basically poisoned the well in regards of that.
Though at the same time it also gives the impression that either they don't have the funds or aren't confident enough on sales that they need people to fund it first.

The sales don't reflect the kickstarter success in many cases though...

That might be down to merchandise which you usually struggle to get later. A fair few people back kickstarters just because of the extras like wall scrolls/posters or the physical copies they get.

...

They seem bretty cool

Frontwing seems to have some good PR guys. They did pretty well the the other week in the AMA they did on Reddit ,where they shot back at Sekai Project who has been blaming them for all their delays.

Its most definitely that /v/ thread. Poor guy.

Le ignored

...

>hands
Motherfucker, I will pull back the skin on my huge uncut cock and smear it across the screen while reading Dies irae. I can't promise there won't be smeg. In fact, I'll make sure to save up some for this special occasion.

>Frontwing doesn't understand what Made Grisaia great
Damn. They should just end it

You'll get AIDS from touching it with your dick.

I want to give them a hug and cuddle yes homo.

It's too late for e-celeb exposure for Vol.1, but if they couldn't get the YT success naturally, they'll have to simulate it by paying a few big time YTers. It's not rocket science. MG should be doing this as well.

I like girls

...

Ew.

Can you not fuck with the OP? Retard.

Is this true?

>tfw I made that /v/ thread

Sorry you had to endure that much shitposting FW.

Trying to use ExtractData to retrieve sprites from a VN.

I used Kikiriki to retrieve the tlg files. Then I'm trying to use ExtractData to convert the tlgs, but it doesn't fucking work. I try to open the file with ExtractData and literally nothing happens

I also tried to use ExtractData on the xp3 file. This time it opens up fine but when I try to extract a tlg file (while using conversion) it crashes. If I don't use conversion it extracts fine.

anyone know why

Rmember to make a daily Dies irae thread on /v/ as well. For it to be an overwhelming success, it has to reach meme status. Make sure to highlight the fact that it's about nazis with superpowers.

These thread went to being kinda cool to super gay in the last couple of threads. Now we are in straight shill mode. Should rename this thread to r/vn

Just a warning, no tool has a 100% success rate on games. Different file systems and encryption prevent such.

Maybe this would have been more successful if the art was not OELVN-tier bad.

>These thread went to being kinda cool to super gay in the last couple of threads.
Nothing much has changed. The same e-celeb drama, the same shitposts, the same images etc. If anything has changed it is the shitposting only got worse since the split, due to that one guy got more shitposting fuel by redirecting everything to /moe/.

The e-celeb garbage has gotten way worse
It's honestly the worst thing about these threads

Can't fucking post a game that Moogy disliked without some smartass going "LOL DUDE MOOGY DOESNT LIKE THAT GAME ITS SHIIIT"

STOP FUCKING WITH THE OP

It isn't though.

The art is fine, I have a problem with it being a steam only release and the fact that everyone is either dfc or a tittymonster along side detached H scenes. I think the art alone is fine too.

Yes you pleb
Why are you even reading if you obviously haven't read or taken the prerequisite material & courses to understand all subject matters presented in the VN
No wonder you aren't the target audience anymore

>it's an "H-Scenes can be added and removed from the source material willy nilly without affecting the quality of the release" episode

Holy fuck. Either make it 18+ and release it 18+ or make it all ages and release it fucking all ages. This memes that H-Scenes cannot help push a story forward or provide context is bad for everyone.

I have never fapped to anything in a VN
